And to the fans, I’ll never let you down again, I’m back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact

Nothing if not brutally honest, this guy.

“The song is a new turn for the controversial Eminem,” wrote Brian McCollum, pop music critic at Eminem’s hometown Detroit Free Press.

No kidding.

“Over an undecorated beat and with a straightforward vocal timbre, he raps about facing down the demons of substance abuse, meeting his responsibilities as a father, and moving ahead to a brighter life.”

Searches for the lyrics to the song are trending today, and it’s no surprise. When even Eminem can look on up, it’s got to feel easier for the rest of us.

Seems Eminem knows who’ll be listening.

“Yeah, It’s been a ride…” the track begins.

I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you’re trying to get out, just follow me
I’ll get you there
